After taking the lead and dominating the game for 80 minutes, Chivas USA fell 2-1 against the Colorado Rapids in Reserve League action on Monday afternoon at the StubHub Center. Midfielder Jorge Villafaña, who already saw some action in the Regular Season game against the Rapids on Sunday night, was one of the most experience players in the Red-and-White team that took the pitch for the Reserves game.

“I think it was a good game at a good level,” the Red-and-White midfielder said after the game. “We were dominating for the majority of the game. Two mistakes cost us the game, but that’s how it is. Now we have to improve soccer wise and move on.”

On Sunday night, Villafaña played 24 minutes in the 1-1 draw between Chivas USA and Colorado Rapids in a game in which despite the great effort made by the local team being down two men, the Goats finished by giving up the draw in the 80th minute.

“I think that on Sunday, aside from the suspensions, the team didn’t let their guard down. We earned a draw and that’s better than a loss. Now we have to continue working for our next game,” Villafaña added.

Villafaña and Chivas USA will have to prepare themselves for their next game, the third and final match against FC Dallas set to be played on Wednesday, Aug. 21 at 7:30 p.m. (PT) at the StubHub Center. The game against Dallas will be the second consecutive game the Goats will be at home, so with time and without having to worry about external factors such as traveling or other cities’ conditions, the team will have the obligation to add points to their latest victory against Toronto FC and their draw with Colorado.

“At home, we always have to defend ourselves, it’s our home. We have to take advantage of that and what better way than to earn points. We earned a victory against Toronto, a draw with Colorado and hopefully we can earn three points in our next game,” concluded Villafaña.

After two days off, the team will return to their normal training schedule on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. (PT) at the StubHub Center’s Field 6. Until then, follow your Goats on www.cdchivasusa.com or on Twitter and Facebook.
